Research led by Rutgers suggests there could be significant new possibilities for treating neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries.
Researchers have uncovered how a specific protein supports the stability of connections between brain cells, which are essential for learning and memory.
According to the scientists, their findings, published in the journal Science Advances.
At the Large Hadron Collider, scientists from the University of Kansas achieved a fleeting form of modern-day alchemy — turning lead into gold for just a fraction of a second. Using ultra-peripheral collisions, where ions nearly miss but interact through powerful photon exchanges, they managed to knock protons out of nuclei, creating new, short-lived elements. This breakthrough not only grabbed global attention but could help design safer, more advanced particle accelerators of the future.
Philip Goff joins me to discuss panpsychism, cosmopsychism, and how these theories of consciousness have the potential to explain one of the most striking discoveries of modern science: the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life.

The global voluntary carbon market (VCM) is a critical tool for mobilizing finance for decarbonization efforts. As the market for carbon credits has grown, however, the value and effectiveness of the market has come under scrutiny.
To restore trust and increase confidence in the market, it is critical that carbon credits represent real, additional, verifiable emission reductions. The credibility and integrity of carbon credits rely heavily on the standards governing their creation and purchase. Strengthening market mechanisms, ensuring rigorous accounting standards, and increasing global cooperation are all essential to ensure that carbon markets contribute towards a low-carbon future.
Elon Musk added that for a limited time, Grok Imagine video generation is free to all users in the US region.
(You can access anything in any region with a VPN 🙄)
Generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) firm xAI, earlier this week, introduced the Imagine video generation feature in the Grok AI app for iPhones.
Now, the company has expanded the availability of the video generation feature to the Android version of the Grok AI app. Elon Musk confirmed the news on his social media platform X. Also, Musk added that for a limited time, Grok Imagine video generation is free for a limited time for US region users.
